It looks better to-day for the election OF
both tho Democratic State and county tickets
than Mt any previous tinlo since tho nominat-
ing conventions wero held. Keen judges pre-
dict that the State ticket will have over ten
thousand plurality, and that It will be fight

State Committee II the Democratic ticket
should come down to the Harlem within 10000

publican reports coincide with the Democratic
votes on this point. The last hope OF Repub-
licans is the cities Of New York and Brooklyn.
The Hon. Mr.. Pulitzer is having trouble with
his citizens movement. Chloe Jote." Elihu
Rood" and other respectable adherents Of the
movement disagree with the illustrious junk
man about the expediency OF attacking the
| character Of "a good lawyer and An honest
| man." They want 1t stopped, for they believe
| it is doing Nicoll more harm than good. A
| large part of the citizens coincide with Mr..
| Choate and Mr.. Root not to mention'other
names. Mr.. Pulitzer has had one ofthe report
ers OF his staff in charge of the " citizens
| movement" and the genuine citizens" are

severe snubs that have made him dislike the
citizens. The ambition OF Mr.. Pulitzer's life

where he would rather be than in heaven. In
his famous Magyar speech at Cooper Union he
hoped to carry out this idea by Familiarity al
luding to Mr. Choate and other gentlemen Of
social and club prominence by their first names.

to elect Nicoll the Pulitzer press is inventing
every kind Of tale against well known Demo-

One good effect of false attacks is shown In
the canvass Of Rastus s. Ransom. for Surro-

about him. over five hundred members OF the

assured him Of their support. He is a lawyer
OF long standing. who came to New York and
began as poor lawyers clerk. He has worked
up to one OF the best and most highly re-
